ATIS is a technical planning and standards development organization that is committed to rapidly developing and promoting technical and operations standards for the communications and related information technologies industry worldwide using a pragmatic, flexible and open approach.

Also previously accredited by ANSI and a sponsored committee of ATIS is Committee O5, which develops standards for use by the telecommunications industry in areas dealing with wood poles and other wood products.

In releasing the blueprint, the ATIS Board identified a number of key reasons why the ATIS committees and the TIA engineering committees should be aligned under one organization.

The ATIS Board concluded that, in today's environment, the industry could ill afford to expend resources to build an entirely new standards development organization from the ground up.

The ATIS Board of Directors firmly believes that the creation of yet another communications standards organization does not best meet the needs of the industry," said ATIS President and CEO Susan Miller.

Copies of the blueprint were delivered to ATIS committee leaders and TIA representatives this week.

ATIS has a solid, well-respected track record for bringing the industry together to develop solutions enhancing interoperability and reliability of telecommunications networks, equipment, and services.
